No7 Stay Perfect Foundation

Well, this came with some very grand claims – perfect skin all day, touch proof, transfer proof – basically, life proof. But, occasionally I get products that I just don’t get and this is one of them. It’s certainly very light – more a perfecter than a foundation and hardly shows on at all; and it didn’t seem to be all that perfecting either. There was pretty much no difference in my skin before and after, in which case, I have to wonder what the point is.

The texture is a light fluid and it is pretty much weightless – but unless you are looking for the lightest possible coverage that doesn’t really impact at all.. and I’m not sure who would be.. then I’m just a bit stumped by this. It’s not a bad product, but I don’t really see it making a splash in foundation terms (watch it become a best-seller now!). It’s available from 22nd January for £14.50.

I got this for review too and I really like it, which surprised me. I’m not usually a fan of the No 7 foundations. Perhaps its my skin, but it gives me better coverage than a sheer to light foundation, but without it texture and look I dislike in the formulations designed to be more full on. I would say if your a fan of light coverage, but looking for that little bit more, give it a try. If you prefer proper full coverage though, give it a miss.

It reminds me of No7 Intelligent Colour Foundation which is practically the same when it comes to real life (maybe regarding the ridiculous claims too 🙂 At least this one has SPF 15 while ICF has only 6 (!?)

It does look a bit watery and cheap TBH – and at £14.50 it is not cheap. We girls know what we want from a foundation, and I don’t think this is it. Maybe more like a BB cream. I am sceptical of a product that makes such grand claims, especially as I have found some new foundations this year which I adore, and don’t think I will be actively looking for another unless it transforms me into Kate Moss.
